Welcome to about thirty members attending today, and thank you to reviewers and those assisting with the program. President Kathryn Noel is presenting a paper at this same time period. 2. CATE Dinner at Michel on the Thames Restaurant – details by Tim Hooper

Our membership is 219. - Secretary’s report moved by Joe Engleman and seconded by Tim Hopper. Approved
- discussion as to whether CATE awards should be available to subject associations and what does CATE stand for - Motion: In future years a paragraph stating why this thesis is suitable for CATE will be required. - Moved by Joe Engleman and seconded by Larry Glassford. Approved - The Committee will review this again next year. - Congratulations to this year’s winner: Susan Elliott-Johns
- members are fluxuating and there are a number of early childhood groups
- 64 proposals were completed and reviewed by two blind reviewers - 55 proposals were accepted - we ended up with 47 papers, 6 symposiums, 2 round tables and used 33 out of the 34 time slots (time slots are based on membership) and 1 for our AGM - Dean’s of Education across Canada have written an accord requesting more emphasis on teacher education - Anyone interested in reviewing for CATE should let Tim know - Thank you to Chairs and Discussants for creating a collegial environment
- CACS pre-conference was an amazing day; anyone interested in working on this? - Willing to help: Kathy Sandford, Tim Hopper, Lara Lauzon - Tim will send out an e-mail to remind members to submit proposal ideas – one suggestion was ‘Technology and Teacher Education’. Apparently OISE had a conference with the same theme this year, and McGill is holding one next year in early May. Nipissing has had a conference for the past few years on this topic. - The Canadian Journal of Education advisory board has a ‘Special Issues’ and this may also be a topic. Kathy Sandford and Alice Collins will follow up on this.
a) S-STEP Tom Russell stated that Self Study of Teaching Education Practices is part of AERA. They have a two volume Handbook on this topic and there is a Journal of Self Study of Teacher Education. Every two years there is a conference in England, and the 6th conference is in July of next year in a castle. There is also a conference, “Narrative Matters” every two years. b) Technology and Teacher Education Discussion: This is healthy and important. We must support each other. Strand and Sigs are fundamentally the same as program strands. This is encouraged by the Dean’s meeting in Calgary so the time is right for this area. c) Physical and Health Education Discussion: Perhaps CACS is a better place for this sig? d) CAPHER Many belong to this, yet there is no organization focus of pedagogy and physical education instruction to share with colleagues in the field. AVANT is a journal of research around health, physical education, kinesiology, and many physical education concurrent programs are now being developed. It is important that this has a focus on teacher education. e) LGBTQ No discussion since Don Cochrane is not present. 8.

The peer review process was initiated this year to improve the quality of papers being published. It is anticipated that this improvement will encourage Deans to support attendance more favorably. We are currently at the review stage of proposals, when we should be working towards completed papers for review. It was suggested that posters not be peer reviewed in round table discussions. b.) Future CSSE dates: Toronto 2002, Dalhousie 2003, Manitoba 2004 c.) Sam Robertson, editor of English works, states there is presently no backlog of papers and that we have submitted five papers to CSSE. d.) Lobbying for strategic grants and education. The executive committee is trying to get voices within SSHRC. The Board meets prior to CSSE and then meets again after, with newly elected presidents. Meetings are also held in October and in May. Comments to be taken back to the CSSE include, the distribution of the books and name of association in the left column. · Treasurer's Report (Sandra Reid) Balance May 23, 2000 $8,692.91 (Total membership = 121) Membership dues received $1,030.00 Catering in Edmonton 262.69 Stamps, photocopying 120.11 Conference call 124.52 Balance $9244.57 · Graduate Student Report (Howard Slepkov) - Cindy Ives and Laura McNamara are going to push to get more graduate students involved with CATE. Other Business· Four Committees of CSSE: 1.SCOGE - Standing Committee of Government and External Relations 2.SCOC - Standing Committee of Conference (Joe Engemann) 3.SCOPEC - Standing Committee Professional Enhancement and Collaboration 4.SCORD - Standing Committee on Research and Development
-Theme - papers can be of joint sessions. A rotating list of member organizations present on behalf of CSSE, i.e. last year it was CATE, 2002 is CAFE. - Posters from CSSE are to be sent to each University (10) and next year's overall theme is "Boundaries". - Key Note Speaker: Kathryn Noel (Program Chair & First Vice President) - Kathryn Noel shared a rating sheet for CATE proposals. Excellent idea and it will be taken to CSSE as they are in the process of developing their rating sheet. - Joe Engemann commended Narie Bujold for doing a tremendous job. Next year Phil Nagy will be handling things. - Kathryn Noel stated that 35 proposals were received and 5 were rejected. Information was sent to those rejected, providing details as to why they were rejected. From the 30 remaining proposals, 3 or 4 cancelled. 31 sessions were given in total, 2 for AGM so we had 29 sessions given. The deadline used was the date on the postage stamp, not the date we received the proposals. The Peer Review process worked well and the names of CATE reviewers are listed now in the program. It is suggested that sessions be 1 hour in length with ½ hour break. Confusion of Chair and Discussant, pull definitions out of booklet. Encourage people to offer to be discussants and chairs, definitions are in the book.
- If we publish paper could we add discussants remarks? Kathryn Noel - CJE - New book has been published for 25. Now that we have both French and English editors, the books title and opening is in French/English and then English/French. In the future, research notes will be peer edited and will have a 1000 word maximum. Book reviews are not peer edited and neither is the Discussant to article. It will be quarterly, generalist and academic. A problem we are experiencing is getting enough quality submissions. Peer review process is slow. Revision time is also a difficulty. Why problems? It is too generalist, not prestigious. The perception is, it's too slow of a process to get enough published. The rate of acceptance, perception is that it is low. Rate is 32% not 8%. Good feedback is so important. Role of Association Editors should not be peer reviewing and adjusting length. Sam makes first decision as to whether to move it on to the reviewers. Those on editorial board are called on if issues they do not meet specifications. · Florence Sampson - Web Site - OISE Craig Montgomerie and OISE Michaels Rosenthal initiate connection to the CSSE web site. One of the problems is that the web-site needs to be in both French and English; we need to get a French Translation of the web-site. · Graduate Student Representative The name was given to us on Saturday. There are forty Faculties of Education across Canada and we must figure out how to encourage students. · Constitution Include a second Vice President and Translation. Motion by Florence Sampson, seconded by Joe Engemann. Carried. - Suggestion, CATE should provide $500 to the Program Chair to receive clerical assistance for the organization of the CATE program. Motion by Florence Sampson, seconded by Joe Engemann. Carried. · Meeting Adjourned. Motion by Sandra Reid, seconded by Kathryn Noel. Carried.
